Right now the
only way to remove a cancer is surgery. But it is very dificult. Dr Jim Olson, a paediatric oncologist and researcher at the
Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centre in Seattle, discovered a revolutionary technique, thanks to the bite of a scorpion. Tumour Paint is a drug that attaches to cells, making them glow. So, for the surgeons it is easier to distinguish the tumor from healthy cells.
In my opinion, scientific progress is very important to find solutions to serious diseases.
